No smoking, and no passing the Dutchie either. Musical Youth have not been to the cinema since 2007. ---

Is it that Sam Smith is wearing a child’s jacket to save paying VAT, and that he has produced the worst Bond theme since the Wombles remixed Live and Let Die on their shelved concept album? ---

Not a fan of that Sam Smith song, but this is one of my favourite James Bond stunts. [![](https://discourse-sotonians-uploads.s3.dualstack.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/original/3X/a/2/a22c4ab50a38653135799b663fdd4729f8b528bb.jpeg "Golden Eye plane jump") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHl6yPL0800) Just a shame that the rest of the film was not as good. ---

What did Craig say about playing Bond, to make him such an ungrateful cunt? ---

He does tend to say the same thing after each film and then change his mind 🙂 ---

I never associated Craig as much of a franchise actor. I can’t think of many films he’s been in that are sequels? What froles has he gone back to, other than Bond of course? ---

Well, I think I’ll be off to see Spectre next week. It has already garnered a rather suspicious five star review from the Guardian, which is a bit weird, because there hasn’t EVER been a Bond film that could truly stand alongside the non-franchised greats of cinema. ---

He strikes me as a grumpy sod who gets fed up with the constant attention and promotion etc of these films especially in the UK. Ask him the same question in six months and I bet you get a different answer. ---

Exactly, unlike some previous Bond’s he had a decent acting career before. It’s probably some professional pride that he looks down on playing Bond as beneath him as an actor. I like the fact he admits to doing it for the money, at least he’s honest. I like Layer Cake too, but should mention “Enduring Love”, adaptation of the brilliant Ian McEwan novel. The opening is is amazing [http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-34603435](http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-34603435) [Previous page](https://www.sotonians.com/t/the-james-bond-franchise/1950.md?page=1) [Next page](https://www.sotonians.com/t/the-james-bond-franchise/1950.md?page=3)
